AceShowbiz - Maren Morris remains resolute in her position on transphobia, boldly standing by her 2022 social media post targeting Brittany Aldean, wife of singer Jason Aldean. "I don't really have any regrets," Morris asserted on Cosmopolitan's Cheap Shots series. Despite the controversy it sparked, she "stands by" her "Insurrection Barbie" tweet.
Brittany Aldean sparked outrage with an Instagram post that implied transgender individuals are merely going through a "tomboy phase." In response, Morris lashed out, urging Aldean to "sell your clip-ins and zip it."
The feud escalated into a media frenzy, with right-wing commentators criticizing Morris. However, she turned their attacks into a fundraising opportunity, selling "Lunatic Country Music Person" T-shirts to benefit transgender support organizations.
Morris' commitment to LGBTQ+ advocacy extends beyond her public statements. She supports gay musicians facing discrimination and has come out as bisexual herself. Her recent EP, "Intermission", reflects her move towards a more pop-oriented sound.
Despite stepping back from country music, Morris maintains a strong connection to her fans. She values their support and believes it's important to use her platform to advocate for marginalized communities.
In the face of backlash, Morris remains undeterred, using her music as a vehicle for positive change. Her outspoken stance against transphobia and her unwavering support for the LGBTQ+ community demonstrate her courage and passion for creating a more inclusive society.
